Thanks for watching the official music video to MattyB's new single, "Turned Out The Lights" feat. Maddi Jane! This was one of the most special projects that MattyB has worked on to date, due to how relevant this topic is to his friends and people around the world. Sometimes it can be easy to criticize, judge and make fun of the people we see around us without ever knowing all of the difficult circumstances they face in life. That's why it's important to respect and show kindness to everyone around you and think before you criticize or laugh at another person. Life is about choices and MattyB hopes you will choose to make the right ones. If you like this song and want to help support MattyB's music, be sure to download this song on iTunes (link above)!

Or is it fantasy? I need to place where I fit in, in the family So I'mma choose to believe despite all of these words that sting All of the hurtful things With these few words I sing Just keep it real on the mic B And you've got a fan for life Where are you now Why did you go Give me a reason for leaving A reason your heart turned to stone Now it's so cold You saw me standing with tears in my eyes and then you turned out the lights Lights you turned out the lights Lights why'd you turn out the lights We at the point of no return There ain't no coming back When it comes to love you never know how to react Gotta keep your head up Can't live in the past I know you feel bad but it goes in a flash (Chorus)
